Young squash talents emerged victorious at the Ikoyi Club 1938's annual Squashtival tournament, held to advance the club's children's squash development programme. Khadijat Durosinlorun claimed the girls' title for the second year in a row, crediting her consistent training and family support for her success. Abdul Hamid Durosinlorun triumphed in the boys' division, expressing his delight that his parents were proud of his accomplishment.

Junior YellowGreens claimed the Division One title, marking their first-ever win in the competition.

Club officials and sponsors, including Amala.com, Zenith Bank, and George Lagos Hotel, praised the tournament's organizers and expressed their commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles among young squash enthusiasts.
